Cecily and I went to her ballet class #2 today. Taos has a drop-in at Twirl and the woman who teaches the class is superb. The video speaks for itself.. But first, for a bit of reflection for “educational” purposes. 1. Lily has only been to a group activity like this twice now. She has […]
P aA P A
She wrote P, then a, and asked if she could make a big A because it is a much better A… So, the second P A followed suit. She shocked us at the end of July demonstrating out of the blue her ability to write Lily. She wrote MAMA sort of about two weeks ago, […]
Singling Bowls
That’s what she thinks it is, anyway. Got this today for $.25 (yes, that was twenty-five cents) at the local thrift! Woohoo! Anyone care to take a gander at the amount of learning, discovery, and development is going on here? Lily has learned to click it, whack it with the mallet, and is trying to […]
Word Construction, Roller Blades, Helping, Ratio, and Headed North?
Yeesh, the last two days have been full! Lily made a new friend yesterday, and today decided to roller blade with them (and the entire run of kids on our street), as well as Russ and I around the neighborhood. She has learned how to have mama on her blades while Lils enjoys a very […]
Tree Climbing Freedom
Lily discovered this week that she can, without assistance, climb the tree in our front yard. What sort of tree is it? Well, it looks like an Evergreen with dreads. I haven’t a clue.. but it’s fun and has lots of low branches. Some images of then and now, along with some pics of her […]
Friction, Fly Eyeballs, and Staring Contests
Today Lily learned that flies don’t have teeth. She also learned they spit on solid food to make it turn into a liquid, because their tongues are like straws. Flies don’t have stingers either, but Hobo Spiders bite. She was a Pest Investigator (see website – http://www.pestworldforkids.org/index.html ) We played all the games, which gave […]
Hair and Good Mornings
This morning, Lily awoke on her own and promptly began working on a project. Russ will upload in a bit. She picked out all the pieces and expertly placed them in her hair, both sides of her head, and on her jacket pocket. It took her about 15 minutes, during which she didn’t tell either […]
Aug, 2010 | March, 2011
Then & Now And Now… She started spontaneously singing this, along with the dialog that follows. I tried to encourage her to give me a little more footage, but discovered singing in a whisper is well, I sound like I’m 6. AND she copies me (on the quiet factor). But, hey, it was worth it […]
PooPayPahSay
Lily has taken to ballet. She has spent this week telling me about her poopaypahsay (that would be _________ + passé). The trouble is, I can’t figure out what she’s saying. Poupée is French for a doll (or toy babydoll, etc) and I can’t figure out how the two are associated with each […]
Planetarium, Parks, and Boxes
Lily, Russ and I are going to Lily’s first ever trip to a planetarium Friday. The last time Russ and I went to one was a few months before I got pregnant. I think she will be in heaven (we’ve waited this long so that there wouldn’t be any fear of the dark/big). She and […]
